Sorry, but this just makes you sound bitter, and detracts enormously from any argument you might make. I believe that we are both in the same age group, though I am slightly older than you so I do understand your feeling of helplessness in a job loss scenario, but the Chicken Little/Sky is falling schtick is too too much.
The Automotive News is wrong? Guess we wait and see. In the mean time, more reading:

Delphi May Have to Liquidate if Ex-Parent GM Files Bankruptcy

Delphi supplies GM, Ford, Toyota, among others.

I've been out of work for fourteen months, barely getting an interview every six weeks. I may be assuming here, but I think you'd be a bit bitter as well. I've been an automotive supplier sales rep for twenty-five years - passionate has nothing to do with, and there is no Chicken Little here. What I say is based as much on a quarter of a century of direct industry experience. Is what you posted based on exact experience or is it an opinion, based on something else less tangible?
